<br />February 15,2001 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she was not in favor of regular workshops as <br />she feels residents are used to Council discussing issues at the regular meeting. She then <br />stated she is not willing to come to a workshop once a month as she would rather stay late <br />at a Council meeting rather than attend a regular workshop meeting. She also questioned <br />when Council intended to discuss Council liaisons to committees. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked Council Members Travis and Broussard Vickers if there appears <br />to be a need for a workshop on a specific subjecfwould they be willing to meet for a <br />workshop. <br /> <br />Council Members Travis and Broussard Vickers stated they were fine with an occasional <br />workshop on an as needed basis but did not see the need for a monthly workshop. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra suggested discussing the liaisons to committees at the workshop. <br />Mayor Swedberg stated he thought Council needed to state what would be discussed at a <br />workshop and stick to that subject.

She noted the church seemed willing <br />to work with the City on a possible land swap. <br /> <br />Mr. Wilharber pointed out he attends St. Mary's and St. Genevieve's and when St. <br />Mary's reconstructed the original church they were careful to keep the historical nature of <br />the building which is something he hopes St. Genevieve's keeps in mind for their <br />expanSiOn. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Nelson. seconded by Council Member Capra to <br />schedule a workshop for February 27. 2001 at 6:30 {l.m.
